Finding and Opening Existing Presentations

Very often it takes several work sessions to complete a presentation. Perhaps you’ll enter slide text in one sitting, tweak the arrangement of graphics and colors in another, and still later edit what you’ve created to incorporate others’ feedback or to proof for spelling errors. To open an existing presentation, you can use the following steps.

Open a Presentation

  1. With PowerPoint running, click the Office button and choose Open from the File menu to display the Open dialog box.

  2. Click the down arrow to browse the drives and folders of your computer or network to locate a file.

  3. Double-click a folder to open it and display files. Continue to double-click folders until you find the file you want.

  4. Specify the file type for the document you want to locate; All PowerPoint Presentations is the default format. Only documents saved in the specified file format are displayed in the file list.

  5. Click on a file and then click the Open button to open it.

You can use the buttons along the left of the Open dialog box to find a file more quickly. For example, if you used the file recently, click the Recently Changed button; if the file is stored in a shared folder on a network, click the Public button to locate it, and so on.

In PowerPoint 2003, recently used files were listed at the bottom of the File menu. In the newly designed File menu, which you access from the Office button in PowerPoint 2007, recently used files are listed to the right of the menu commands. Just click on one of these to open it.
